My poor baby needs a new bumper and upper valance because I turned into someone who was passed the stop sign, my question is how much do y'all think it will cost to repair this damage? It's only cosmetic, no damage to suspension, or any other part of the truck. I do have the fog light and I just need a bracket for it

No insurance?

Oh yeah, full coverage, the 2 insurance companies are fighting and no telling how long it will be until I get it replaced. The officer put it as a no at fault

I actually just got into one too. Well actually I was out looking for my dogs that got out and hit a 3foot ditch but messed up my transmission too. Still waiting to buy/replace it. It's killing me not being able to drive it >.< But I did get a bumper with fog lights. It was $1200 to fix the front end but insurance covered it.

Yeah it isn't too terrible, she had just got into a wreck for the same thing a few months ago, her inspection sticker expired and she had a missing drivers side headlight, it was raining, and it was 6:45 in the morning so it was still dusk outside, she didn't have her headlights on, but oh well she was passed the stop sign, but I also turned a little sharp, but she screwed herself because she told the cop that she was still rolling when we collided and she was already passed the stop sign so she basically admitted to running the stop sign, but he seemed to not understand what she said. But it doesn't matter. If my bumper wouldn't be bent in I wouldn't even be worrying about it, but since it's bent in my tire rubs in reverse

Im seriously thinking about doing an aftermarket bumper like a roadarmor, are ranchhand stealth bumper, not sure yet, I can get the ranchhand for $675 brand new

What's your deductable? Most folks carry a $500.00 deductible to lower their insurance premiums; some go higher yet, some pay more to lower their deductable.

If your good with a wrench, start locating good used parts from the local boneyards, then install them and pay a body shop to do the paintwork, unless you have friends in those places that can save you some dough in that catagory too.

i had chrome bumpers on my truck and i wanted painted ones, so i took off my chrome bumper(its not hard, i am the worst do it your selfer) and just bolted up the painted bumper. its about 10, 10mm bolts. it took all about 15 mins. i paid 350 for the bumper off ebay and 100 bucks to have it painted. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2004-2005-FO...09cb42&vxp=mtr theres one just lacking the fogs.
